"AAH!" Kai screamed. The nightmare horrified him. When he shot up from bed, he accidentally moved his ankle. That's the other reason why he screamed. He panted hard. His heart thumped in his ribcage. He flinched when he tried to move his ankle.
"Kai?" a voice asked.
"Tyson? What are you doing up"
"I heard you scream"
"You were hearing things." Kai scoffed him off.
"No. I heard you scream. I even heard you scream for help. Was it a nightmare?" Tyson asked.
"Hn. I don't need help. Go back to sleep"
"Lemme get your ankle back on the cushion. It must've hurt when you moved it." Tyson said. He gently held Kai's foot in his hand. He gently placed the ankle on the cushion. Kai was glad it was dark, or else Tyson would ask why his cheeks were pink.
"Night, Kai. Sweet dreams." Tyson smiled. He climbed back into the futon.
"Night, Tyson." Kai whispered; making sure no one would hear him.
After six days, Kai was finally able to move on his ankle. Kai became more open with Tyson. He decided to leave that Sunday afternoon. Grampa decided to visit an old friend, leaving Kai and Tyson in charge of the dojo.
"I bet your parents would be happy you're going back home." Tyson smiled.
"Hn." Kai chewed on his lip. He didn't want Tyson to feel sorry for him. He didn't want Tyson to know his parents died in a car crash when he was still staying in the Abbey.
"Say, want something to eat, before your chauffeur comes to pick you up?" Tyson asked.
"Anything. I'm not fussy." Kai shrugged. He sat a chair away from the edge of the table.
"Here you go, a ham-and-cheese sandwich. Hope you like." Tyson said, giving Kai the giant sandwich. Kai nodded, his way of saying thanks. He hungrily bit into the sandwich. Tyson sat down by the edge of the table (next to Kai), and he took an even larger bite from his sandwich. Kai noticed an interesting photo on a shelf. It was a family photo of a gray-blue haired beautiful woman. She had the same eyes as Tyson. In her arms were a toddler Tyson. On her side, stood a ten-year old gray-blue haired boy that had violet eyes. Bruce Granger stood behind the ten-year old boy, and his arm was wrapped around the woman's waist. They looked so happy and care-free. Kai felt envious.
"That's my family, before my mom died." Tyson explained sadly. Kai felt guilty feeling so jealous.
"How did she die?" Kai asked.
"She just didn't wake up one morning." Tyson bit his lip, remembering the shock of finding his mother dead. He started to sob.
Kai felt sorry for Tyson. What to do? He gave Tyson a tight hug. Tyson stopped sobbing, returning the hug. Kai froze. He didn't expect such a hug. It had a hidden meaning.
"Thanks, Kai." Tyson smiled, wiping tears from his eyes.
"You're welcome." Kai smiled. Tyson's eyes lit up.
'How could anyone look so beautiful and handsome at the same time?' Tyson wondered.
A knock came on the door.
"That's my chauffeur. Thank you."
"No prob. We shall have a rematch someday, huh"
Tyson winked. They started to stare into each other's eyes. Both their cheeks had a pink tint.
"I--" Tyson tried to say.
"I--" Kai tried to say too. They closed their mouths. They looked away.
Suddenly, Kai pressed his lips against Tyson's. Tyson's eyes widened. He quickly returned the kiss.
"I love you, Tyson." Kai smirked, cupping Tyson's chin with his hand.
"I love you too." Tyson answered.
"I'll see you soon. Goodbye." Kai said goodbye. He gave a quick peck on the cheek. He then waved goodbye, before leaving.
As soon as Kai was out of sight, Tyson slumped onto the floor. He suddenly noticed interest at his late mother's painting she made. He smiled when he saw the hidden meaning in it.
It was a red phoenix and a blue dragon. They were floating in the sky. Their tails intertwined. As if they were holding hands.
The bluenette left the room, hoping Kai's return will return very soon.
THE END.
